AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This brief source is mainly a listing of the items acquired for the collections of the Museum für Völkerkunde in Vienna by Nebesky-Wojkowitz during his field trip to Sikkim in 1950-1953, including Lepcha and Tibetan materials. Of special interest is the equipment of a Mun priestess which had been handed down for about three centuries in the family of a well-known, recently defunct priestess.
